Funeral costs for Olumide's wife, Funmilayo

Funmilayo, my wife, passed away on 13 July after complications from pneumonia. She was 81 years old. She was the heart of our family and had no savings or life insurance. The funeral home has given us a quote of $600 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 24 July. I have already used what I had for the hospital bills. My family is scattered, and many of us are out of work. We want Funmilayo to have a dignified farewell. Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers. Anything left over after the funeral will be donated to a local food bank. Where the $600 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $320 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $190 • Transport of the deceased: $35 • Memorial gathering for the family: $55 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Olumide
